GRAPE VARIETY:: Red berry grapes.

ORIGIN: Eastern Veneto.

SOIL TYPE: Medium texture, clayey.

VINIFICATION: Pink vinification of grapes, with a short maceration period of up to 36 hours at controlled temperature. The next step is soft pressing, after which the turbid must is left to undergo cold decantation. The resulting must is transferred to steel vats where fermentation is completed over 12 days at a controlled temperature of 18-20 °C on carefully selected yeasts. The "basic" wine is placed in prise de mousse pressure tanks where it ferments for 18-20 days on active yeasts at a controlled temperature of 14-16 °C. When the required over pressure is reached (approx. 6 bar) the mass is cooled to -4 °C to stop fermentation and aid stabilisation. It is then held at a controlled temperature for at least one month so that it can mature naturally on the yeasts. At the end of this period the wine undergoes filtering and isobaric bottling.

COLOR: A vivacious wine of an attractive pink colour with luminous onion skin nuances.

SCENT: The scent is fresh and vinous.

FLAVOUR: The lively flavour is reminiscent of apples and apricots.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with a wide range of tasty, typically Italian appetizers, fish entrees and low-fat, fragrant culinary creations. To try with hot, spicy Oriental dishes.
